Dolly Bookmark

One of the best reasons to shop in thrift stores is one never knows what will be found!

It's like going on a gigantic treasure hunt.

Two favorite collections in the whole world are 1) Books and 2) Dolls. Can you imagine finding a "treasure" that combines the two?




Well, here she is! She's a dolly bookmark! How unique is that? She's not much more than seven inches tall and she has the sweetest face you can imagine. Her purple outfit is made of long strands of tassel with a tiny skirt. Her delicate arms cross in front of her.


Dolly bookmark has a long strand behind her which slips on to the page one is reading.

She is truly one-of-a-kind and is definitely worth the $2.99 sticker price!








What's one of the best and most unique things you've ever found in a thrift store?

Barnyard Table Runner

Die hard thrift store shoppers know that treasures can be found for pennies.
On one occasion, I was lucky enough to find a whole "barnyard" of a treasure. It's a table runner that was stuffed among cloth place mats, table cloths, pillow cases, and so on.

Loved the bright pumpkins, just in time for fall, embedded in the fabric, along with the cows, sheep, pigs, and several different kinds of chickens and roosters.

Into my shopping cart of treasures it went. Much to my delight, the runner cost less than $3.00! It has added a cheery, country look to our table this fall.


Sharing some close-up photos of this table runner. Talk about a "baa-tiful" addition to the table. Placing dishes on it is a "moo-ving" experience. Ha! Hope you enjoy seeing this country treasure!
